An estimated <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2015/04/19/educators-alarmed-by-some-questions-on-n-y-common-core-tests/">"40 percent of all Long Island [grade] 3-8 students refused to take last week's ELA Common Core state tests. Numbers in some districts reached well over 70 percent, with at least one district exceeding 80 percent....It seems clear that the final 2015 tally will well exceed 200,000 students. New York State will likely not make the minimum 95 percent federal requirement for testing.... What will happen to New York schools then?

In 2003, the New York Times published a lengthy article by Lisa Belkin about women who were choosing to leave the workforce to be stay-at-home moms: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/26/magazine/26WOMEN.html?pagewanted=print">The Opt-Out Generation</a>. In the the last ten years, the article's conclusions regarding upper-middle-class women's choices about work and motherhood have been <a href="http://www.newrepublic.com/article/the-read/81257/women-opt-out-economy-divorce">debated</a>, <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/1030/p13s02-wmgn.html">studied</a>, <a href="http://nymag.com/news/features/retro-wife-2013-3/#print">rediscovered</a>, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/30/AR2009093005106.html">den</a><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2009/10/01/ST2009100100170.html?sid=ST2009100100170">ied</a>, <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/sexes/archive/2013/03/the-many-myths-about-mothers-who-opt-out/274354/">lamented</a>, and <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lisa-belkin/retro-wife-opt-out_b_2902315.html">defen</a><a href="http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/01/revisiting-the-opt-out-revolution/">ded</a>. It's been <a href="http://prospect.org/article/opt-out-revolution-revisited">noted</a> by many that "most mothers have to work to make ends meet <a href="http://www.cjr.org/essay/the_optout_myth.php?page=all">but the press writes mostly about the elite few who don't</a>." Ms. Belkin's piece also never mentioned what <a href="http://www.salon.com/2011/01/06/wish_i_hadnt_opted_out/">what a disaster divorce or the death of a spouse can create</a> for dependent women in such situations. After a decade, the Times is revisiting the topic: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/11/magazine/the-opt-out-generation-wants-back-in.html?ref=magazine&pagewanted=all&_r=0">The Opt-Out Generation Wants Back In</a>. tag:metafilter.com,2013:site.130720Wed, 07 Aug 2013 07:47:32 -0800zarqOpting out rejected, Opting in suggestedhttp://www.metafilter.com/101775/Opting%2Dout%2Drejected%2DOpting%2Din%2Dsuggested

In its three short weeks of life, Lifehacker has given me good tips at a shockingly high frequency.

You can't prevent them from subscribing you to new products without closing your account. Will going to an opt-out system help or hurt their bottom line?
